Washington D.C. -- With Congressman Paul Broun's announcement that he is running for U.S. Senate, the nation's largest grassroots tea party organization endorses Rep. Broun's candidacy.

"This is tremendous news for our conservative, Tea Party values. Congressman Broun has proven himself time and again as one of our most trusted allies in Washington, and he would be an incredible asset for us and our families in the Senate. He will be up against well-funded establishment moderates, but we're going to make sure that what he lacks in deep-pocketed country club fundraisers like Karl Rove he makes up in tens of thousands of citizens who are worried about the future of our nation," said Todd Cefaratti, founder of TheTeaParty.net.

"It comes as no surprise that the Democrats and liberal media would love to see Paul Broun defeated, and they will do everything in their wheelhouse to do just that. That's why the Tea Party Leadership Fund has endorsed Paul Broun for the United State Senate. In 2010, the Tea Party engineered a massive electoral upset, taking back the House of Representatives and showing everyone that our constitutional conservative values represent the political pulse of our great nation. We elected Tea Party heroes like Marco Rubio, Rand Paul, Michele Bachmann and others. Since then, our values have been trampled at every turn by President Obama, Democrats, and even some in the Republican Party - but not Paul Broun," continued Cefaratti.
